Glutathione transferase activity during Bufo bufo development.

G Del Boccio, C Di Ilio, M Miranda

    Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. B, Comparative Biochemistry
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Glutathione transferase activity in Bufo bufo embryos is high initially and decreases significantly during development. Isozyme composition remains stable throughout embryonic stages.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Developmental Biology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are crucial enzymes involved in detoxification.
    • Understanding GST activity during embryonic development is vital for assessing environmental impacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the activity and isozyme profile of glutathione transferases during Bufo bufo embryonic development.

    Main Methods:

    • Enzyme activity assays were performed on cytosolic fractions of Bufo bufo embryos at various developmental stages.
    • Isoelectric focusing was used to analyze the isozyme patterns.

    Main Results:

    • High glutathione transferase activity was observed in early developmental stages, including unfertilized eggs.

  • Activity decreased progressively from stage 4 to stage 25, reaching a minimum.
  • Isoelectric focusing revealed no significant changes in the number of GST isozymes during development.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bufo bufo embryonic development involves dynamic changes in glutathione transferase activity.
    • The conserved isozyme profile suggests developmental regulation primarily affects enzyme activity levels rather than composition.
